It is not what they wanted
Fed-up residents living near a planned road closure in Bestwood have spoken out about a fresh batch of works happening around their neighbourhood. Nottingham City Council recently announced that Hucknall Road will be affected by a road closure that will impact inbound traffic towards the city centre between Bestwood Park Drive West and Top Valley Way for five weeks, at all times, as new cycle lanes and resurface works take place.
Nottingham City Council secured funding to improve the Hucknall Road corridor for people walking, cycling and using the bus. However, residents living nearby have voiced concern over the closures, and the increased journey time which could become factor. It expects the wider project to take around 10 months.
"We all understand the need for them but they're happening all the time and it's just going to make people late for work and increase traffic in other places. It needs to be managed better really.Jacob Heyden-Hatchett, 41, who works nearby, said: "When this one starts it is going to impact me for sure.
Martin Ferber, 42, said: "I'm glad that it's being done if I'm honest - you might not hear that from everybody! I cycle a lot to and from work and I've wanted the lanes for a while.
